Hello,
I tried to copy some files from Android Galaxy grand 2 Samsung make to my Mint 18.3 Cinnamon system. After struggling for half a day I wasnt successful. Finally I booted into the dual boot Windows 10 (Booted after 1 month ) and the copying was smooth.
Is there anything I need to do to get the copying working?
Thanks all in anticipation.

I had similar challenges, had something to do with MTP or something, which I didn't pursue as I found this WiFi File Transfer app that basically sets up a temporary FTP server on your phone, all via my wifi network.

I quickly realized that I preferred this method because I could then use an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla) to transfer files, which I find far more reliable than a file manager.

Hello phd21 , thank you for your detailed reply.
I am not able to run the kde application. I ran kde ap on the laptop and phone. On phone it didnt find any device to pair. Both are connected to the same w-fi network.

Thank you all , and especially phd21 who suggested various solutions.
Finally the solution proved to be simple. I upgraded the computer kernel to 4.17.1 which is released recently, and copying files from the phone to computer is a breeze now.
